When author Glenn Hermann first heard tales of Yup’ik Eskimo Abraham George’s near-death experience, he greeted the story with serious skepticism. George, the village drunk, claimed that an otherworldly being guided him through heaven, outer darkness, and hell during the hours he lay unconscious and on the brink of death following a logging accident. Yet as Hermann dug deeper into George’s story—and into the supernatural occurrences following his miraculous recovery—the former military man had to acknowledge that something spectacular had happened to the Yup’ik man. Now, Hermann invites readers to experience the life-altering journey and message proclaimed by George for themselves. Whether you believe in heaven or an afterlife—or are looking for more proof that it’s all a bunch of hogwash—dare to travel beyond your understanding of birth and death, and everything in between. Examine Abraham George’s claims and the evidence for and against the veracity of his message. Sift through the testimony and judge for yourself. Just don’t expect to come away unchanged. Celestial Traveler astonishes the natural mind and challenges the reader to examine their worldview concerning the miraculous and supernatural nature of God. I found myself laughing and weeping at the goodness of our Lord. God chose a very humble man to tell the simple story of His mercy and grace.

That path-crossing has turned out to be one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime, "Y-in-the-road" acquaintances which has affected every day of my life since. On that day, my rational mind and my belief system were jolted by the most incredible story I had ever heard, told by this Eskimo named Abraham George, from Manokotak, Alaska. He fervently proclaimed his story of having died, being taken on a journey to three celestial destinations, and then being reunited with his body. I had strong reactions to it--amazement, extreme skepticism, and strong curiosity. Due to my life-long interest in the spiritual world, I was enthralled by it and drawn into a quest to determine whether what Abraham was claiming was true. I reasoned that if Abraham's story were to be found false, then he needed to be exposed as a charlatan and fraud. If, on the other hand, his claims turned out to actually be true, I felt that due to the paramount importance of its content, the entire world needed to know about it. I felt confident, due to my prior graduate training in Apologetics, that I would definitely be able to determine the truth whatever it turned out to be. Due to my unique DNA of strong skepticism and equally strong penchant for truth, in 1975 I enrolled in and successfully completed a Master's degree in Apologetics from Harding Graduate School of Religion in Memphis, Tennessee. My purpose was to equip myself to be able to safely navigate the spirit world without being led astray. The word "Apologetics" is derived from the Greek word apologia (literally,"to give an answer"). Apologetics is a philosophical study of the laws of logic, rationality, and argumentation in order to differentiate truth from error and to be able to effectively communicate truth with others.  Throughout Chapters 9-13 in SECTION TWO--MANY POWERFUL PROOFS, the phrase "apologetic value" recurs several times and it is to be taken as referring to the relative degree of certainty and significance of that statement or claim being made. I ultimately made the decision to accept the challenge of putting Abraham and his testimony on trial. I committed myself to do whatever became necessary to follow the evidence trail wherever it led and to leave no stone unturned to discover the trut
